Cooling A Room - We have a room with the volume of V = 4x4x2 m 3 . The room temperature and the outside temperature

Cooling A Room - We have a room with the volume of V = 4x4x2 m3. The room temperature and the outside temperature are both Tr = To = 40 C. We put some ice at -18 C from the freezer in the room to melt and bring the temperature down to a desired temperature of Td = 25 C. Assume the heat is exchanged only between the air and ice. A) Calculate the mass of ice needed (mi)? B) How much heat did the ice absorb from the air in the room? C) If this amount of heat gets transferred out of the room only through a double pane window with the area of 1x1 m2, and 1 cm air gap, how long does it take for this amount of heat to transfer from outside to inside once the room is at 25 C? D) What if the window was made of only 3 mm of glass? Use the following data:

Heat capacity of air Ca= 1000 J/kgK

Heat Capacity or Water Cw =4186 J/kgK

Heat Capacity of ice Cice = 2100 J/kgK

Latent Heat of fusion of ice Li=334000 J/kg

Coefficient of Thermal conductivity of glass kg = 1.3 W/mK

Coefficient of Thermal conductivity of air ka = 0.025 W/mK

Density of air is d = 1.2 kg/m3
